Textile and fabrics are widely used in public places and household interiors, so their flame retardance properties are increasingly attracting public attention.
Textile and fabrics with good flame retardance properties can greatly reduce the incidence of fire. When fire occurs, the flame retardance properties of textile and fabrics can also play a key role. they will not be burn quickly but inflaming retarding when fire occurs.
